Time for an update here.

After a year the bike has been put through its paces in a big way and Ben has gone from strength to strength. Until Tokai died we were up there three or four times a week but since then we have been out and about at Paarl, Stellenbosch (G-Spot, Coetzenberg) Contermans, Meerendal, Bloemendal, Hoogekraal and a fair few visits to Chris Nixon's place.

As a bit of an *anniversary* ride we were at Hoogekraal and Contermans on Sunday, Ben battled a bit with his asthma at first but by the time we got to the top of Contermans all was well and he was off like a stabbed rat.

It's fair to say the bike has been put to good use and is still going strong.

marko how do we get to this Chris Nixon's place ?

Straight past Tokai towards Constantia It's on the left at the old Constantia Uitsig wine farm just before the turnoff for Meadowridge.

Well worth a visit or two.

I meant to add this, the little maniac had a few fastest of the day/week moments at Tokai over the last year. This one is notable for the person in sixth place, Hub admin being slapped into place by an 11 year old. Oh the shame...

Met your youngster once at Conters, good boy that and I am glad he is giving you old timers a hard time.

 

Poor jokes aside, the father / son riding trails thing is a very special bond that you guys are creating there!

It's wonderful, we have spent so much time together having fun you can't put a price on it.
